Don’t Have Jealousy?
Sometimes we think that we don’t have jealousy but we have pride
instead. Though, this point can be cleared up quite easily when we consider
some of the typical strategies of jealousy. The most common two strategies or
behaviours of jealousy are these two: interrogation and the deprecation of the third person.
Can’t Resist Asking Questions
Jealousy can’t resist not asking questions about what he or
she said to the one we are in a relationship with. Where have you been? What
have you been doing? Why are going there? You don’t really like her that much
do you? What do you like about her? What does she have going that I don’t? And
so on and so on.
We may have never asked these questions but we have certainly
thought them in a kind of mental protest.
"O, beware, my lord, of jealousy! It is the green-eyed monster, which doth mock the meat it feeds on."
Deprecation
This is so typical of jealousy that when the third person
enters into the picture, jealousy begins to find fault after fault in the other
person. And of course the results of this fault finding activity has to be told
to the one whom jealousy wishes that they stop liking or paying attention to the third person.
There is a lot of ill will in this activity and one sidedness. The third person has done nothing to us but we profoundly with jealousy dislike the third person.
